En route today to #icem2023italy for my first energy meteorology conference! I’ll be presenting results from my PhD @UniRdg_Met @SCENARIO_DTP on weather risk in reserve power systems, with a case study on @BTGroup telecom (full slides to follow after the conference)

An elected government in 2024 headed by @Keir_Starmer will be one that has recklessly ignored its own membership and democratic processes 1/6

They stole our pensions but they’ve now been restored. Huge day for everyone in the UK university sector. All those bitter cold days on the picket line, the lost pay, the doubts. Yet ultimately we won back our pensions. There’s power in a union 🫡

Today in the Hague, in the Netherlands: Over 25'000 demonstrating against fossil fuel subsidies, 10'000 blocking the A12 motorway. They withstood water cannons with equanimity. 2'400 were eventually arrested. They'll be back tomorrow. Let's go XR Nederland!!

Een kind kan zien dat jaarlijks 37,5 miljard euro fossiele subsidies niet deugt. Steeds meer van hen willen daar iets tegen doen. De regering luistert niet, dus ze hebben geen andere keus. #A12Blokkade #StopFossieleSubsidies #Klimaatrechtvaardigheid nos.nl/artikel/2489897-2400-…
2400 demonstranten, onder wie tientallen minderjarigen, opgepakt bij blokkade A12

De politie meldt dat de demonstranten met bussen naar het ADO-stadion zijn gebracht. De meeste demonstranten zijn weer vrijgelaten.

Yesterday @ReadingBioSci ecology lecturer @BecksSpake and @UniRdg_Met PhD students @jfallon1997 @DevonFrancis96 visited parliament: We joined with other scientists to explain to MPs the consequences of new oil and gas licenses, with @ChrisGPackham @GreenJennyJones #NoNewOil

Dear @sciencemuseum Please follow the lead of @Tate @NPGLondon and @TheRSC in dropping fossil fuel sponsorship. The sponsors are trying to clean their image by dirtying yours, and it’s not a good look. 1/4 letter to trustees: healthforxr.com/smg/

We've been asked to comment by press on Kier Starmer's piece in the Times this morning. Here is our comment, shared publicly: We can only hope that if Keir Starmer becomes our next Prime Minister that he will have a better grasp of the detail he has at present. Just Stop Oil is not calling for an immediate end to all UK oil and gas, but for a halt to granting new licences and consents. This is the same policy that Labour has signed up to. However, Labour's failure to commit to revoking Rishi Sunak's planned 100 new oil and gas licences should they come to power, means that their pledge to end new oil and gas is meaningless. They are indistinguishable from the criminal Conservatives. It is obvious that our politicians and corporations have no intention of acting in accordance with the fundamental interests of either our young people or the country as a whole. This means that civil resistance is no longer an option, it is a necessity. In late October, thousands of people will join Just Stop Oil in London to march on the roads, and we will not stop until we win. Just Stop Oil

And when it comes to "surplus" capacity, in future we predict a *decrease* in the amount of surplus. This trend is consistent across ensemble members (but more significant in some than others)

Results are still preliminary, and I look forward to sharing write-ups on part-I and part-II of this work and further progress on my PhD soon! 👨‍🎓 Thanks to everyone who has provided input and help for this work, especially my supervisors and co-authors 😁
Reserve requirements (and “surplus” capacity) are sensitive to temperature, vary seasonally A risk-aware decision framework was developed, using meteorological data to estimate reserve capacity requirements of critical infrastructure Conclusions: Case-study using UKCP18 climate projections showed: * Greater reserve capacity needed in future climate, to maintain levels of risk (disagreement on how much is needed) * “Surplus” capacity is reduced in future climates (strong agreement) Part I (reanalysis data only) Submitted to Meteorological Applications (pending): Surplus Capacity in Reserve Systems for Critical Infrastructure with Weather-Driven Demand. Fallon, Brayshaw, Methven & Krug Part II (climate-risk assessment) is under preparation.
